Gov Bramlett Esqr

Frankfort Ky
Dear Sir

Enclosed I send you the petition of John Galvin and Many Citizens praying that John Galvin be relieved of the fine imposed upon him by the City Court. I have no interest in this matter beyond that of any other of the citizens who join Galvin in asking the remission of the fine —

I have been interested so far in this case as to ask you to remit this fine because Galvin is a poor,industrious,honestman. Harper may also be poor, but he is dissipated reckless & worthless; and further because this trouble grew out of political toubles between Galvin & Harper, the first a good and stanch Union man and the other a rebel; and be because, as I believe, had it not been for the conduct of Harper the difficulty would have never been —

Mr Reasor the Prosecutor

petitions for the remission of half the fine, this I take it under all the circumstances surrounding the case is sufficient evidence that Executive clemency should intervene and the whole fine be remitted.

I trust, Governor, that you will remit the whole.

I am respectfuly your Friend

Jos G. Wilson

P. S.

Should you remit the find enclose &c &c to Jos Enders care of Severson & Enders at this city.

J. G. W.
